Abstract
We report a case of a 26-year-old male, a student by profession, who noticed black-ink-like stains over palms not removed with soap and water on relocating to a new flat during monsoons. The patient had no history of trauma, contact with chemicals, or drug intake. Sudden onset during monsoons, absence of symptoms, characteristic clinical and dermoscopic findings, and spontaneous resolution within 10 days led to a diagnosis of cydnidae pigmentation.
